M-Powered Pro Tools 9
Anyone know why there is an M-Powered version of PT9?
"Enjoy many of the same professional features as Pro Tools 9" Must be a limited version then? So confusing... http://www.m-audio.com/news/en_us-2019.html

The idea is pretty simple... a low-cost, limited version for M-Audio hardware. It basically looks like the usual PTMP with ADC, and the upgrade price is $199. I'd say it's a decent deal for PTMP users who didn't want to pay the $350 but still want ADC.

EDIT: ...and no Windows XP support. And I can't see anywhere whether MP 9 is able to run with my Music Production Toolkit (version 1) or not. Too risky to update at the moment. |

Re: M-Powered Pro Tools 9
I thought the idea was to only have "pro tools", and "pro tools hd". Are we back to where we started with another software version to support?

...the last thing i read from Avid was that there was no LE or M-Powered versions anymore - just PT9. So this is very confusing because Avid say one thing and do something else. Still using version 8... just trying to understand what's going on so thanks for filling me in! steve

I'm wondering now if the M-Powered version will have better/different drivers than the other PT9 version? However if it's limited then it's probably not for me... I think I will just stick with PT8

It's half the price of PT9 full, and the crossgrade is about a 40% discount from the crossgrade. So, for what it is... it's alright. I doubt driver support will be specific to this version. Generally M-Audio drivers are device specific, rather than DAW specific.

- Terminate the 003 series (and thereby PTLE). There's already "End Of Line Clearance" offers at various dealers. - PTMP 9 is meant to be bundled with entry level M-AUDIO hardware. Three bundles are already offered. On AVIDs WEB page they show some bundles with PT9 and Mbox (with a maximum of 8 I/Os on the Mbox PRO!!!). So, for M-AUDIO they pair interfaces with up to 34 inputs with software to support only 18 of those. For Mbox they pair interfaces with up to 8 inputs with software, which supports 32 inputs. Indeed some odd couples. Why not substitute PTMP with an entry level hardware independent PT to match the entry level interfaces? E.g. like it is with Cubase and Logic. For not-so-entry-level-more-than-18-I/Os M-AUDIO dudes like myself, there's only PT9, but if it isn't able to run with my Music Production Toolkit?! Tell me that it is, please. At least the plug-ins. |
